Southside Cocktail

Mixing Instructions

The South Side and its refreshing combination of gin, citrus, sugar and mint is a classic cocktail worth knowing—and drinking. The recipe can be traced back to at least 1916, when it appeared in Huge Enslinn’s book “Recipes for Mixed Drinks” as the South Side Fizz. His version called for gin, lemon and lime juices, sugar, mint and club soda. Lose the bubbles and cull one of the citrus fruits, and you get the South Side as we know it today.
